[QUOTE="alaskanneedshelp, post: 601327, member: 16587"] My son lives with me for two weeks while i'm home and with his mother for two weeks while I am gone if that helps clear things up. Also, in Alaska the child doesnt have the legal right to chose, not even at 14. It can be a consideration in a custody battle but there has to be more to it. I keep feeling like everyone thinks I am making a mistake for having a wife when my son doesn't care for her. We are already married. Is everyone suggesting I divorce my wife for my kid? That seems ridiculous. I know now that I have messed up with talking with my son, and for that I need to appoligize to him and I already have with my wife. My question is what steps can I do at this point to increase my odds of saving my family? Once again I screwed up but i'm not perfect as is anyone else. My plans at this time is since its just us at the house for two weeks to talk with him. Maybe if he is somewhat open have dinner as a family to start slow. Maybe even go running or something. My wife is never alone with my son and I can be the buffer if there is any issues. He is a teenager and does have somewhat of an attitude in general. I just want him to give it a shot, one more chance so we can prove things are better. [/QUOTE]
